pa_sink_get_state() and pa_source_get_state() just return the state
variable. We can as well access the state variable directly.
There are no behaviour changes, except that module-virtual-source
accessed the main thread's sink state variable from its push() callback.
I fixed the module so that it uses the thread_info.state variable
instead. Also, the compiler started to complain about comparing a sink
state variable to a source state enum value in protocol-esound.c. The
underlying bug was that a source pointer was assigned to a variable
whose type was a sink pointer (somehow using the pa_source_get_state()
macro confused the compiler enough so that it didn't complain before).
I fixed the variable type.
Current code does not check whether pa_play_file call failed. Hence no error is
reported in the cli interface if playback failed because e.g. file isn't
readable by the daemon.
Some modules may only be loaded once, and trying to load them
twice from default.pa makes PulseAudio startup fail. While that could
be considered a user error, it's nicer to not be so strict. It's not
necessarily easy to figure what went wrong, if for example the user
plays with RAOP and adds module-raop-discover to default.pa, which first
works fine, but suddenly stops working when the user at some point
enables RAOP support in paprefs. Enabling RAOP in paprefs makes
module-gconf load the module too, so the module gets loaded twice.
This patch adds a way to differentiate module load errors, and
make cli-command ignore the error when the module is already
loaded.
Users may want to change the parameters of some load-once modules in
~/.config/pulse/default.pa. That should be possible by including
/etc/pulse/default.pa from the per-user configuration file, and then
unloading a module and reloading it with different parameters. However,
that doesn't work, because the unload-module command will not unload the
module immediately, so the subsequent load-module command will fail when
the module can be loaded only once.
This patch makes the module unloading synchronous. "pacmd unload-module
module-cli-protocol-unix" is something that might not like this change,
since the command will unload the code that is processing the command,
but I tested it and it works fine. When pa_module_unload() is called,
that won't yet remove the module code from memory, the lt_dlclose() call
is postponed until it's safe to remove the code from memory.

This allows us to restore the default device properly when a
hotpluggable device (e.g. a USB sound card) is set as the default, but
unplugged temporarily. Previously we would forget that the unplugged
device was ever set as the default, because we had to set
configured_default_sink to NULL to avoid having a stale pa_sink pointer,
and also because module-default-device-restore couldn't resolve the name
of a currently-unplugged device to a pa_sink pointer.

Currently the default sink policy is simple: either the user has
configured it explicitly, in which case we always use that as the
default, or we pick the sink with the highest priority. The sink
priorities are currently static, so there's no need to worry about
updating the default sink when sink priorities change.
I intend to make things a bit more complex: if the active port of a sink
is unavailable, the sink should not be the default sink, and I also want
to make sink priorities dependent on the active port, so changing the
port should cause re-evaluation of which sink to choose as the default.
Currently the default sink choice is done only when someone calls
pa_namereg_get_default_sink(), and change notifications are only sent
when a sink is created or destroyed. That makes it hard to add new rules
to the default sink selection policy.
This patch moves the default sink selection to
pa_core_update_default_sink(), which is called whenever something
happens that can affect the default sink choice. That function needs to
know the previous choice in order to send change notifications as
appropriate, but previously pa_core.default_sink was only set when the
user had configured it explicitly. Now pa_core.default_sink is always
set (unless there are no sinks at all), so pa_core_update_default_sink()
can use that to get the previous choice. The user configuration is saved
in a new variable, pa_core.configured_default_sink.
pa_namereg_get_default_sink() is now unnecessary, because
pa_core.default_sink can be used directly to get the
currently-considered-best sink. pa_namereg_set_default_sink() is
replaced by pa_core_set_configured_default_sink().
I haven't confirmed it, but I expect that this patch will fix problems
in the D-Bus protocol related to default sink handling. The D-Bus
protocol used to get confused when the current default sink gets
removed. It would incorrectly think that if there's no explicitly
configured default sink, then there's no default sink at all. Even
worse, when the D-Bus thinks that there's no default sink, it concludes
that there are no sinks at all, which made it impossible to configure
the default sink via the D-Bus interface. Now that pa_core.default_sink
is always set, except when there really aren't any sinks, the D-Bus
protocol should behave correctly.

FSF addresses used in PA sources are no longer valid and rpmlint
generates numerous warnings during packaging because of this.
This patch changes all FSF addresses to FSF web page according to

When setting attribute foo, or in this case the card profile, in my
opinion the thing passed to the set_foo() function should be of the
type of foo, not a string identifier that can be used to search for
the actual foo in set_foo().
This is mostly a question of taste, but there's at least some small
benefit from passing the actual object: often the profile object is
already available when calling pa_card_set_profile(), so passing the
card name would cause unnecessary searching when pa_card_set_profile()
needs to look up the profile from the hashmap.
All pa_cvolume_snprint(), pa_volume_snprint(),
pa_sw_cvolume_snprint_dB() and pa_sw_volume_snprint_dB() calls have
been replaced with pa_cvolume_snprint_verbose() and
pa_volume_snprint_verbose() calls, making the log output more
informative and the code sometimes simpler.
A dynamic array is a nice simple container, but the old interface
wasn't quite what I wanted it to be. I like GLib's way of providing
the free callback at the container creation time, because that way
the free callback doesn't have to be given every time something is
removed from the array.
The allocation pattern was changed too: instead of increasing the
array size always by 25 when the array gets full, the size gets
doubled now (the lowest non-zero size is still 25).
The array can't store NULL pointers anymore, and pa_dynarray_get() was
changed so that it's forbidden to try to access elements outside the
valid range.
The set of supported operations may seem a bit arbitrary. The
operation set is by no means complete at this point. I have included
only those operations that are required by the current code and some
unpublished code of mine.
This patch removes all occurrences of double and triple
newlines.
Command used for this:
find . -type d \( -name ffmpeg \) -prune -o \
-regex '\(.*\.[hc]\|.*\.cc\)' \
-a -not -name 'adrian-aec.*' -a -not \
-name reserve.c -a -not -name 'rtkit.*' \
-exec sed -i -e '/^$/{N;s/^\n$//}' {} \;
Two passes were needed to remove triple newlines.
The excluded files are mirrored files from external sources.
It appears that, libltdl will find the .la file in the builddir and
figure out where the real .so is.
This also requires .ifexists to be fixed up to correspondingly search in
<dlsearchpath>/.libs.
I was looking at a log that showed that a suspend happened (at
a strange time), but the log didn't tell me why the suspend was done.
This patch tries to make sure that that won't happen again.
In practice there is always at least one profile, and I
don't think there will ever be cards without profiles.
Therefore, I added assertions to pa_card_new() stating that
the card new data must always contain at least one profile.
Now a lot of code can be simplified, because it's guaranteed
that the profiles hashmap and the active_profile field are
always non-NULL.
The latency offset type should be signed (int64_t) so we can also add
a negative latency offset.
This also includes changing the type of the sink/source
offsets and updating pacmd so it handles negative numbers.
pacmd was extended so it can handle the new latency offset.
A new function was added so we can set the latency also the list
commands were extended to print the latency offset on the ports.
pacmd should allow unloading modules by name.
The command_unload() function was expanded to handle names while
unloading modules.
If there are multiple modules with the same name all
of them will be unloaded.

The purpose of this command is to print all the internal volume
variables for sinks/sources and all corresponding
sink-inputs/source-outputs to make debugging and reasoning about
volume-related issues easier.
This piggy backs onto the previous changes for protocol 22 and
thus does not bump the version. This and the previous commits should be
seen as mostly atomic. Apologies for any bisecting issues this causes
(although I would expect these to be minimal)
This is pretty cosmetic change; there's no actual functionality added.
Previously the volume_writable information was available through the
pa_sink_input_is_volume_writable() function, but I find it cleaner to have a
real variable.
The sink input introspection variable name was also changed from
read_only_volume to volume_writable for consistency.
There are two known cases where read-only or non-existing sink input volume is
relevant: passthrough streams and the planned volume sharing logic.
Passthrough streams don't have volume at all, and the volume sharing logic
requires read-only sink input volume. This commit is primarily working towards
the volume sharing feature, but support for non-existing sink input volume is
also added, because it is so closely related to read-only volume.
Some unrelated refactoring in iface-stream.c creeped into this commit too (new
function: stream_to_string()).
- We now implement a logic where the sink maintains two distinct
volumes: the 'reference' volume which is shown to the users, and the
'real' volume, which is configured to the hardware. The latter is
configured to the max of all streams. Volume changes on sinks are
propagated back to the streams proportional to the reference volume
change. Volume changes on sink inputs are forwarded to the sink by
'pushing' the volume if necessary.
This renames the old 'virtual_volume' to 'real_volume'. The
'reference_volume' is now the one exposed to users.
By this logic the sink volume visible to the user, will always be the
"upper" boundary for everything that is played. Saved/restored stream
volumes are measured relative to this boundary, the factor here is
always < 1.0.
- introduce accuracy for sink volumes, similar to the accuracy we
already have for source volumes.
- other cleanups.
Completely rework mixer logic. This now allows controlling a full set of
elements from a single sink's volume slider/mute button.
This also introduces sink and source "ports" that can be used to choose
different input or output ports with the UI. (i.e. "mic"/"line-in" or
"speaker"/"headphones".
The mixer paths and device maps are now configered in external
configuration files and can be tweaked as necessary.
The reference volume is to be used as reference volume for stored stream
volumes. Previously if a new stream was created the relative volume was
taken relatively to the virtual device volume. Due to the flat volume
logic this could then be fed back to the virtual device volume.
Repeating the whole story over and over would result in a device volume
that would go lower, and lower and lower.
This patch introduces a 'reference' volume for each sink which stays
unmodified by stream volume changes even if flat volumes are used. It is
only modified if the sink volumes are modified directly by the user.
